Hard To Believe

Hard to believe we can still see a trio of Bessemer Units leading trains on the former Bessemer & Lake Erie RR in 2021.

My day started out on the B&P but quickly turned to thoughts of chasing the 867 north in the fresh snow after a couple birdies said the trio might be heading to XB to grab ore empties.

I picked up the chase in Butler as the crew was just starting to pull from Calvin Yard. Seeing the high green displayed at Oneida I thought the signal bridge shot at McCandless Rd. would look good.

A lot of people including myself always shoot the southbound here but I hardly ever see anyone shoot the northbound here so I gave myself plenty of time to walk in from the grade crossing to setup.

I didn't realize it until someone posted on FB that 867 turns 50 years old this coming July.
